The SETDA ET Forum 2008 was a unique opportunity. It was a time for leaders from the public and private sectors to come together for a shared professional development session. It was a time to build relationships, learn from corporate and state leaders, and share with one another. SETDA members from all 50 states plus DC view the ET Forum as a vehicle for building strong corporate partnerships that are crucial to the success of current and future statewide programs within their states.
